In order to study the dynamic change law of the porosity of the compacted broken coal under different axial stress loading, based on the environment of the broken and compacted coal in the gob, aiming at the influence of the porosity on the spontaneous combustion of the coal, combined with the fractal theory, the fractal model of the porosity of the broken coal is established. A self-designed “testing device for permeability evolution and spontaneous combustion characteristics of crushed coal under pressure” is used to carry out axial loading test on selected coal samples in the gob. By comparing and analyzing the calculated results of void dynamic evolution model and experimental data, it is found that the relative error of void dynamic evolution model is between 2.8% and 6.2%, which meets the engineering needs. According to the stress-strain curve, initial accumulation state parameters, fractal dimension of initial crushing, and particle size distribution, the change of porosity under different compacted conditions can be predicted by the model, which has certain significance for identifying the change of compacted broken coal porosity and analyzing the process of coal spontaneous combustion and oxidation.

Coal permeability plays an important role in the simultaneous exploitation of coal and coal-bed methane (CBM). The stress of mining-disturbed coal changes significantly during coal mining activities, causing damage and destruction of the coal mass, ultimately resulting in a sharp increase in permeability. Conventional triaxial compression and permeability tests were conducted on a triaxial creep-seepage-adsorption and desorption experimental device to investigate the permeability evolution of mining-disturbed coal. The permeability evolution models considering the influence of the stress state and stress path on the fracture propagation characteristics were established based on the permeability difference in the deformation stages of the coal mass. The stress-strain curve of the coal was divided into an elastic stage, yield stage, and plastic flow stage. As the axial stress increased, the permeability decreased and then increased, and the curve’s inflection point corresponded to the yield point. The permeability models exhibited a good agreement with the experimental data and accurately reflected the overall trends of the test results. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for coal mine disaster prevention and the simultaneous exploitation of coal and CBM.

Relative permeability (RP) plays a critical role in fluid flow and transport in fracture systems, with considerable advances in theoretical and computational methods over the last few decades. Nevertheless, there is no standard procedure for measuring RP in fractures, and the essential controls on RP in rough fractures are not yet definitive. In this study, we developed a theoretical model to investigate the RP in inclined rough fractures under stress dependence based on fractal theory. The topography of the rough fracture surfaces is well addressed by fractal theory and lubrication theory, and thin bending theory is used to characterize permeability evolution characteristics of fractures under stress conditions. The model accounts for multiple key factors, including the microstructure of the rough fractures (e.g. the fractal dimension, the area ratio, the length ratio, and the maximum and minimum base radii), rock lithology (e.g. elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio), gravity and effective stress. The predicted results agree well with the available experimental data. It is inferred that the effect of gravity on RP decreases as pressure gradient increases. In general, the theoretical fractal model reveals the coupled flow-deformation mechanisms in fractures, and tends to improve the efficacy of reservoir development strategies. With this new analytical solution, it can help to reduce the uncertainty in flow through fractures and obtain data with high accuracy.

Deep coalbed methane (CBM) is widely distributed in China and is mainly commercially exploited in the Qinshui basin. The in situ stress and moisture content are key factors affecting the permeability of CH4-containing coal samples. Therefore, considering the coupled effects of compressing and infiltrating on the gas permeability of coal could be more accurate to reveal the CH4 gas seepage characteristics in CBM reservoirs. In this study, coal samples sourced from Tunlan coalmine were employed to conduct the triaxial loading and gas seepage tests. Several findings were concluded: (1) In this triaxial test, the effect of confining stress on the permeability of gas-containing coal samples is greater than that of axial stress. (2) The permeability versus gas pressure curve of coal presents a ‘V’ shape evolution trend, in which the minimum gas permeability was obtained at a gas pressure of 1.1MPa. (3) The gas permeability of coal samples decreased exponentially with increasing moisture content. Specifically, as the moisture content increasing from 0.18% to 3.15%, the gas permeability decreased by about 70%. These results are expected to provide a foundation for the efficient exploitation of CBM in Qinshui basin.

AbstractTo investigate the influence of the fissure morphology on the dynamic mechanical properties of the rock and the crack propagation, a drop hammer impact test device was used to conduct impact failure tests on sandstones with different fissure numbers and fissure dips, simultaneously recorded the crack growth after each impact. The box fractal dimension is used to quantitatively analyze the dynamic change in the sandstone cracks and a fractal model of crack growth over time is established based on fractal theory. The results demonstrate that under impact test conditions of the same mass and different heights, the energy absorbed by sandstone accounts for about 26.7% of the gravitational potential energy. But at the same height and different mass, the energy absorbed by the sandstone accounts for about 68.6% of the total energy. As the fissure dip increases and the number of fissures increases, the dynamic peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus of the fractured sandstone gradually decrease. The fractal dimensions of crack evolution tend to increase with time as a whole and assume as a parabolic. Except for one fissure, 60° and 90° specimens, with the extension of time, the increase rate of fractal dimension is decreasing correspondingly.

The evolution of a collaborative innovation network depends on the interrelationships among the innovation subjects. Every single small change affects the network topology, which leads to different evolution results. A logical relationship exists between network evolution and innovative behaviors. An accurate understanding of the characteristics of the network structure can help the innovative subjects to adopt appropriate innovative behaviors. This paper summarizes the three characteristics of collaborative innovation networks, knowledge transfer, policy environment, and periodic cooperation, and it establishes a dynamic evolution model for a resource-priority connection mechanism based on innovation resource theory. The network subjects are not randomly testing all of the potential partners, but have a strong tendency to, which is, innovation resource. The evolution process of a collaborative innovation network is simulated with three different government behaviors as experimental objects. The evolution results show that the government should adopt the policy of supporting the enterprises that recently entered the network, which can maintain the innovation vitality of the network and benefit the innovation output. The results of this study also provide a reference for decision-making by the government and enterprises.

A description is given of an apparatus for carrying out tension tests under hydrostatic pressures of 60 ton/in2 or more. The results of an investigation of the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the tensile properties of a number of metals are given. It was found necessary to protect cast materials with a rubber sleeve. The fracture strain increased with hydrostatic pressure, but this increase was not linear but varied with the crystal structure of the metal. In zinc and Mazak a sudden transition from brittle to completely ductile behaviour occurred at a critical pressure; this was probably due to a flat stress/strain curve. It was found in tension tests under pressure that specimens could deform and neck in a characteristic tensile manner, even though all the stresses were compressive. Fracture also could occur when the axial stress was compressive. It was found that the present results on tension, and previous results in torsion on cast iron, conformed either to a criterion that fracture occurred when the largest tensile stress reached a critical value which decreased as the volumetric compressive stress increased, or to a maximum deviatoric stress criterion, the critical value increasing with volumetric stress.
